The Emeritus at Allentown personal care home, which has been in hot water with the state since a resident's death went unnoticed in late 2012, has failed yet another inspection and been threatened with fines.

A few weeks ago, the state Department of Public Welfare issued the home a provisional license for the third time. That means the home, on Greenleaf Street, has failed to remedy its problems and will continue to face greater state scrutiny than typical.

According to a state report, on Jan. 6-7 inspectors found multiple violations. They included the home failing to do a criminal background check on an employee; failing to adequately train staff; giving a resident expired insulin; and failing to have medication available for two residents.

The state initially cited Emeritus at Allentown early last year after the death of June Hassler in December 2012. She died of natural causes but her death wasn't immediately discovered. She was found in a locked bathroom in her room more than a day later.

Employees at the home believed Hassler had left the premises despite evidence to the contrary, such as her not being signed out on the home's log and her prescriptions remaining on the home's medication cart. Read my column about that here.

The home failed a followup inspection later last year. Read my column on that here.

Receiving a third provisional license from the state is rare. That license is good through June 18.
